THE BIG QUESTION
EVIDENCE
IMAGINATIVEREMEMBER
•What is the substantial thing, or BIG IDEA you are exploring?•What do I want to say?
CONSIDER• You can’t write a novel in 1200 words – make sure
every word counts • Think about what your main character wants more
than anything in the whole world in relation to this topic.
• Simple equation for fiction: The main character wants something + the forces that are working against the main character to stop them from attaining their desire = CONFLICT which forms the basis of the narrative .
• Your role as a writer is to EXPLORE and resolve that conflict
WRITERS
• SHOW NOT TELL• FOCUS ON THE BIG IDEA AND WHAT
THEY WANT TO SAY• CONSTANTLY MAKE DECISIONS,
SELECT AND DESELECT
